Experimental octopus trap fishing in Barkley Sound, February-March 1979 / by B.E. Adkins, P.A. Gee and P. A. Breen.: Fs97-4/1548E-PDF ; Fs97-4/1548
"Experimental octopus trap fishing took place during February and March 1979. Seven types of octopus traps were tested. A long-line system was used to set and haul the traps. Only 9 octopus were taken from a total of 1432 traps set during this period. Trap design, construction and efficiency are discussed as well as possible reasons for the low catch rate shown by this study"--Abstract.
